Chapter 285: Peel Back the Truth

"Since you are not the henchmen of this son, then this son also wants you to be useless, since you have always respected the housekeeper as the master, only his orders are obeyed, why not directly serve him as the master of the Xuanyuan clan and obey his dispatch arrangements!"

The dragoon's face turned pale, as if he didn't expect me to say this, and urgently changed: "Childe! ”

"Okay, let's get here first, and when you figure it out, come see me again!" I was furious, waved my robe and turned away!

"Childe ......"

"General Long was an orphan when he was a child, it was the old man who saved his life back then, and later he was incorporated into the Xuanyuan Death Guard, and when he was ten years old, he was arranged into the ranks of the soldiers of the Turtle Heng Kingdom, and was finally promoted to a general little by little...... On the surface, he is loyal to the Guiheng Kingdom, but secretly, he has always been loyal to the Xuanyuan Mansion, which Xiangye can completely put his mind at ease......"

"You are ......" martial arts are so strong, you can sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly, and then find the study in this mansion without being discovered, and it will take so long to find out, that person ...... And who will it be?

When I turned around, the man was standing by the window, dark and dark, gradually removing the veil from his face.

"It's ...... you"

"Shadow Guard Bell Tower, meet Childe!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the one who followed the butler that day......" I remembered, he was among them on the way back from Cangyun Country that day. Hehe, not all the dead guards dare to look up at me in the crowd......

"If you go back to Gongzi, you are a subordinate!"

"What, could it be that he gave you some orders to come to this son?"

"Not ......"

"Since you are not ordered to act, you don't follow the butler and come to find this son, is there something special that you can't let the butler know?"

"There is one thing that my subordinates really can't let the housekeeper know, but I have to tell you!"

"Oh? Is it? On the contrary, I was a little interested, turned around and sat down on the edge of the wooden table, and poured a cup of tea, and I was absolutely sure that he would not disappoint me.

Really......

"The housekeeper has two hearts!"

I stroked my fingers on the rim of the cup and couldn't help but pause, but after a moment I came back to my senses and smiled, "Go on......"

"On the surface, the housekeeper is loyal to the Xuanyuan clan, but secretly relying on the rights entrusted to him by the lord back then, he suppressed and decomposed the center of gravity of the dead guard everywhere, this is for many years, one-third of the dead guard has disappeared for no reason, for this matter, many people's clarity is hindered by the housekeeper's power in the dead guard for so many years, so no one dares to point it out in front of everyone, over the years, since the death of the eldest prince, the housekeeper has been rampant. In addition, his subordinates also secretly talked about that he had a mysterious relationship with a group of island people for a period of time, and then a group of subordinates felt very strange, so they followed this clue and kept tracking, and found that the housekeeper was actually colluding with the royal family of Yeyang Kingdom! Want to find another master! ”

"Ben Gongzi...... How to believe what you say? ”

"The subordinates knew that it was difficult to convince people about this, so they secretly paid attention to the ......" said, taking out a few letters sealed with wax, "Childe, please see, this is what the subordinates found from the housekeeper's residence, maybe Childe will understand after reading it......"

I took it, and there was a smell of pine oil on it, and I looked at the regular sealing veins on it, it didn't look like it had been sealed afterwards...... What's more, the words on it!

"Hehe, it's really the butler's note."

Open a letter casually,

After a quick glance, there was no expression on my silent face.

He waited and watched me, and after a long time, I smiled and crumpled the shell of the envelope in my hand and handed it back.

"The tree is a big wind, and it will be destroyed...... You've probably heard of this, right? ”

"My subordinates know!" He stepped forward to reply to the letter, "My subordinates are retired!" ”

"Wait!"

"What else does Childe command?"

"Xuanyuan's dead guard, how many people are still alive?"

"If you add it up, there are a thousand and four people!"

"Can you determine the number of people who have sworn allegiance?"

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke with difficulty: "No more than twenty!" ”

"Really? …… How many of them were cultivated by Xuanyuan Yu later? ”

"Among these twenty people, all of them were cultivated by the master back then, all of them were hard-working orphans from all over the world, and the people who were cultivated by the eldest prince in the later period were either in a vacillating position in the middle, or they had been included in the housekeeper's hands. A large part of the batch left by the master back then was assigned to other places by the housekeeper with all kinds of excuses. ”

"It seems that this big tree is not only huge, but even the rhizomes extend too far...... We need to cut down the grass to the roots, but in this way, our power will be reduced accordingly. What's more, the housekeeper has been in charge of the death guard for more than ten years, and after the fact, Xuanyuan Yu's trust is deep, and this time, it may not be easy to uproot the big tree. ”

"Childe is very right! But...... There is a way for the subordinates. ”

"What's the solution?" My eyes lit up, I put down the teacup, picked up the fan, and played with it in my hand, waiting for his words later.

"Dragoon General!"

"He? ......," I smiled understandingly, "and that's no wonder you had said all the good things about him in the first place." ”

"The dragoon general was the henchman of the lord before his death, and the lord nominally handed over all the dark forces to the housekeeper to take over, but fortunately, the lady thought about it for a long time, so he didn't let the lord really rest assured that all the manpower was in hand. In the open, the general and the butler are on the same front and absolutely obey the butler's orders, but in the dark, the general is burdened with heavy responsibilities, on the one hand, to find out the news from the butler's side, and on the other hand, to try his best to keep the dead guard that the lord saved before his death! The letters you saw just now are evidence that the general has gone to great lengths to steal them from there! ”

"Dragoon? …… Since he is so loyal to the Xuanyuan clan, Xuanyuan Yu will not know? ”

"This ...... The subordinates don't know. After all, the truth behind the incident in Xuanyuan Mansion back then was only known to the lord, his wife and the housekeeper, and his subordinates only accepted the order to protect the eldest son, so they did not deal with the eldest prince. ”

"I see......" I nodded with a deep groan. You go down first......"

"The subordinates must live up to the trust of the son!"

After the shadow guard left, I asked Sun Su to come in, and after a little bit of work, I slowly went out from the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked towards the East Palace.

Along the way, they were contemplating what the bell tower said.

He is a dead guard, although he claims to be his father's confidant back then, but I still can't believe him when he is one-sided. However, since he mentioned the dragoon general, I am afraid that he still has to find some clues from this person.

"Childe! It's here! ”

The carriage stopped, and as soon as I lifted the curtain, there were dark clouds outside, hanging over the large vermilion lacquer palace, which looked gloomy and heavy.

"When I went out just now, it was still sunny, why did it cover the dark clouds after a while...... "Horse."

The words of my husband whispering to himself fell from my ears.

The master said that the weather of all things is like the mind of a mortal, the fastest change, and it is difficult to guess!

"Childe?" Sun Su saw that I couldn't get out of the carriage for a long time, and couldn't help urging, saying that now that the rain hasn't fallen yet, it is naturally best to rush into the palace quickly, after all, when I went out, I didn't think about bringing rain gear.

Naturally, I knew the worry in his heart, so I walked out, got out of the carriage, and commanded him, "You don't have to wait here, this son has other things for you to do." ”

"Childe, please command!"

"When you go to the General's Mansion, you will say that my son has been seriously ill in the past few days, and his expression is in a trance, so he will be inferior to the general, and I hope the general will not put it in his heart. Tomorrow...... My son will personally visit and apologize! ”

Sun Su raised his eyes slightly, and under my gaze, a hint of abruptness flashed, "My subordinates know, my subordinates will do it!" ”

In front of the palace gate, waiting for the father-in-law to go in to report, and after a while, he came out, and entered the East Palace with the father-in-law, along the way, the wind was howling, and it seemed that the rainstorm was coming......

"Xiangye, it's here!" The father-in-law stood in front of a gilded white marble palace and stopped, stepped aside, and made way out.

I looked up, and the two palace doors opened in the middle, and out came a slightly older father-in-law, who had come to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He arched his hand at me and saluted, "Prime Minister!" ”

He probably didn't expect me to come suddenly, and there was a slight surprise on his face.

"Tonight, this prince is for the high hopes of being sick in bed before, and he specially came to the East Palace to ask the Ten Princes for his guilt!"

"The Prime Minister laughed, the Ten Princes personally ordered, as long as the Prime Minister comes, no matter when, there is no need to tell him, just go in!" With that, he waved his hand beside him and made a gesture of please.

The corners of my eyes moved, and I strode in...... It turned out that his surprise just now was not because he suddenly saw me, but because he was surprised by the fact that the Ten Princes were like gods......

Tsk, when did the Ten Princes start to calculate so accurately?!

With trepidation, I walked behind my father-in-law.

According to the temper of the Ten Princes, no matter how much they indulge me, this time they should not be able to bear the authoritative provocation that I have been closed to no one, and this trip should not be easily let go.

However, when I went inside, the reality was the opposite.

There is no overwhelming anger, no indifferent coldness, and no monstrous hatred, some just smile as always.

"Jingfeng, here? Sit here! He smiled and got up, clinging to a seat next to him, his usual smile on his face and his tone cheerful, very different from what I had expected...... This Buddha gave me an illusion, as if I had never had sex before, and I had never been able to disobey the emperor of the ghost country and betray the ten princes.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" I walked over with my sleeves and sat down in the seat next to him.

Before the storm, it was so peaceful, even unusually peaceful, wasn't it?

If this is just a ploy for him to play with a man's mind, then I will play with him until he gets tired of it, reveals his true colors, and takes the initiative to show his fangs and pounce on his prey!

During the banquet, I chatted with him, talking about the deceased Cangyun Kingdom, the current state affairs of the Three Kingdoms, and the possible development of the Guiheng Kingdom in the future, and talking about the ...... He talked a lot, and when he was happy, he would smile and raise a drink, and mingle with me.
